		<description><![CDATA[The true reason there are no "moderate" Muslim armies killing ISIS terrorists. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Obama-Ertoganpng.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-242954" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Obama-Ertoganpng-450x337.png" alt="Obama-Ertoganpng" width="310" height="232" /></a>Western media, President Obama, all Muslim countries, and myriad groups and individuals have been telling us that ISIS does not represent Islam. Muslims, especially in the West, insist that their beloved faith has nothing to do with the terrorists who are embarrassing the good and peaceful Muslims and who are giving Islam a bad name and dishonoring the real Islam.</p>
<p>It is a fact that Arab/Islamic culture highly values honor and pride and has little tolerance for those who dishonor Islam and Islamic &#8220;family values.&#8221; Because honor is so vital in Islamic culture, a whole section in Islamic law is dedicated to forgiving and not prosecuting certain murders when they are linked to honor, such as the killing of adulterers and apostates. Sharia has harsh punishment for those who dishonor Islam or deviate from its values and commandments.</p>
<p>Because of Muslim sensitivity to dishonor one would think that the majority of moderate Muslims, especially after 9/11, would mobilize their armies, police and legal resources to arrest, punish, imprison or execute those who kill, behead and terrorize in the name of the religion of peace.</p>
<p>Muslim legal systems in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and Yemen, do not hesitate to whip, amputate, stone and behead those who violate Islamic sexual taboos, but never behead, amputate or whip jihadists who terrorize in the name of Islam. Almost all Muslim governments claim to be moderate, but none have apologized for 9/11. They have no interest in rounding up terror groups except those who point their guns at Muslim governments. Why is that? Why is it that many Muslim governments allow the financial support and accommodation of terror groups as long as terrorists do their business elsewhere? Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf countries financed the radical resistance against Bashar Assad for one reason: he is not Sunni. And now when the radical resistance turned into ISIS, these same nations are asking the US to do something.</p>
<p>There are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims divided among 49 majority Muslim nations around the world and all claim to be peace-loving and &#8220;moderate.&#8221; Many of these Islamic nations have some of the largest and well-equipped armies in the Middle East and Africa. Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons. Egypt&#8217;s military has approximately 468,500 active personnel, in addition 1 million reservists. Turkey has 662,719 active personnel. Saudi Arabia&#8217;s military is estimated to have 150,000 active personnel and Pakistan has 550,000 active troops, 500,000 reserves.</p>
<p>Yet the huge armies of the above four Muslim nations are watching the ISIS slaughter and refuse to end it. Has anyone asked why? Where are the 1.5 billion moderate Muslims to save the reputation of Islam and fellow Muslims? Is there even a moderate Muslim army that will not hesitate to kill ISIS beheading their way from city to city? Will Muslim armies fight the alleged bad Muslims?</p>
<p>The answer is simple and I hope the West is ready for the truth. If Muslim governments go to war against ISIS, there is a good possibility that their armies will not kill ISIS but might actually <em>join them</em> against Arab governments. This is why:</p>
<p>The ultimate holy goal of Islam, both &#8220;moderate&#8221; and &#8220;radical,&#8221; is to reestablish the Islamic Khalifate and control the world. That is the goal of jihad. Historically all Islamic States were established by the sword, terror and violence. Even Mohammed himself established his first Islamic political entity in Arabia through the sword, violence and terror. Mohammed himself said in a hadith &#8220;I have been victorious through terror.&#8221; His followers took the sword, terror and beheading throughout Arabia to bring Arabs back to Islam after the death of Mohammed. Historically, Islam never created and maintained a Khalifate without the sword and the cruel punishments of Sharia. So the fact that ISIS is violent does not disqualify it in the eyes of Sharia from doing holy jihad in the name of Allah.</p>
<p>Thus, Muslim heads of state are caught in a quagmire. Sharia dictates that every Muslim head of state must do jihad as an obligation otherwise he is an apostate and must be removed from office &#8212; the old fashioned Islamic way like what happened to Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gaddafi. Sharia also gives the right to Muslims to wage jihad war against non-Muslim nations, but gives non-Muslim nations no right to reject Islamic jihad and fight back.</p>
<p>That is why Muslim leaders never want to wage serious war against the likes of Al Quaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hizbullah, etc. Muslim leaders do not want to be perceived as acting against Sharia by destroying the first budding Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.</p>
<p>Thus we see Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Gulf nations and Egypt, who are perfectly capable of destroying ISIS, refuse to move against ISIS and allow the slaughter of fellow Muslims, Christians and Kurds, rather than violate Sharia. All these Muslim governments are begging the US and Western nations to do their dirty work for them, as usual. America is the great Satan, so what more can America lose between friends?</p>
<p>President Obama today refuses to put troops on the ground in Syria and Iraq to destroy ISIS. I hope his refusal is because it is in the best interest of the United States and not because he too, like Arab leaders, does not want to destroy the first budding Islamic State In Iraq and the Levant.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Singing to the tune of "Allahu Akbar."]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/nj.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239464" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/nj-450x280.jpg" alt="nj" width="297" height="185" /></a>It has been 13 years since 9/11 and the West is still reluctant to link the non-ending parade of jihad groups with Islam. The West is also in denial about the similarities all radical Islamic groups share. It is important for the West to realize that there is a natural division of labor between the different terror groups. Some groups specialize in terror against non-Muslims and Western governments while others specialize in terrorizing Arab governments that refused to follow Sharia. But the truly sophisticated groups are those who reside in the West, calling themselves ‘moderate’ while at the same time defending and controlling the direction of Islamist goals through advocacy, diplomacy, negotiation and PR.</p>
<p>All of the above types of Islamist groups work together in perfect harmony like an orchestra that sings to the tune of “Allahu Akbar.” And when Islamic terrorism and beheadings anger the world and turn public opinion against Islam, that orchestra starts playing a different tune to confuse and prevent the world from uncovering their coordinated handy work. While one group proudly takes credit for the terror, another publicly denounces it. But most groups, while enjoying the power and attention the terrorists have bestowed on them, stand by with a look of victimhood saying: “I am a victim too because you condemn me and my peaceful religion when I did not do anything. That is not Islam and <em>you</em> are an Islamophobe.”</p>
<p>Not only is there division of labor amongst Islamist groups, but these groups also often change roles, tactics and appearances &#8212; after birthing other more radical terror groups to do the dirty work of terror. Because the West and some Arab governments refuse to deal with terror organizations, these organizations play a game of presenting a face of rehabilitation and moderation, while delegating the terror and assassinations to newer groups. Old guard terror groups like the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Fatah were able to change color and they assumed a new, but only cosmetic, appearance of moderation, but not before birthing the more violent Al-Qaeda and Hamas.</p>
<p>The West was told the MB and Fatah were now the moderate and humanitarian face of Islam that could be counted on and that could run Islamic government. Islam will present itself as working with the rest of the world only for the sake of establishing the Kalifate. The West has been only too happy to welcome the new face of the old terror groups to the camp of moderation. But the new face of evil after the MB became Al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>When the MB won the Egyptian elections, Islamists believed the Kalifate could be achieved through elections, avoiding the usual violent jihad. But when Egyptians realized they had made a mistake by electing the MB and 35,000,000 Egyptians revolted against Islamist rule, the dreams of a Kalifate through peaceful elections were defeated. The only solution for Muslims to achieve their Kalifate is the old fashioned way of 7<sup>th</sup> century Islam: pure violence, savagery and terror; thus the rise of the newest Islamist terror group, ISIS, while the MB takes a back seat.</p>
<p>When Al-Qaeda’s reputation tanked after 9/11, even inside the Middle East, the terror jihadists were forced into working under a new name &#8212; same goals, but with a more ferocious appetite for terror and torture. After the defeat of the budding Islamist State through elections in Egypt in 2013, the restrained beast of public beheadings hidden in the Islamic genie bottle finally exploded for the world to see in the form of ISIS; an organization that declared itself as the true long-awaited Islamic State. Force became the only choice. Coincidentally, this follows the example of Mohammed who tried to peacefully Islamize Mecca for 13 years but failed and could only Islamize Arabia by force, terror and the sword when he became a warrior in Medina.</p>
<p>ISIS rushed to declare itself as the Islamic State even before finishing the job of conquering all of Iraq and Syria. It was flaunting its savagery to the world in the hope of giving the message to reluctant Arab countries that they will be next. The plan is very similar to what Mohammed and his followers did in the 7<sup>th</sup> century: conquer Arabia quickly by force so they could move to more important goals of taking over the outside world, now the West and Israel. By doing that they are confirming to Muslims around the world that terror works and that their prophet Mohammed was correct when he said: “I have been victorious through terror.”</p>
<p>Bottom line: What legitimate Islamic organizations must adhere to is obeying Islamic commandments to conquer the world for Islam, defeat and humiliate non-Muslim nations and establish the Kalifate &#8212; to be ruled by sharia. That is the plan. It is not the opinion of the writer of this article, but it is the basic objective of Islamic law books, scriptures and preaching, which explicitly define jihad as a war with non-Muslims to establish the religion of Islam. To facilitate this mission, Islamic law freed Muslims from any restrictions on their behavior; they can wage offensive wars, kill, terrorize, behead, lie, deceive, humiliate, slander, use corporal punishment on women and children, and sacrifice the well being of the family, all for the purpose of the empowerment of Islam.</p>
<p>But instead of properly facing the 21 Century Islamic challenge, the West has chosen denial. Obama is being criticized for resorting to golf in a time of trouble, but that is perhaps his only outlet when he feels paralyzed, because what he believed and advocated Islam to be and what it is turned out to be polar opposites.</p>
<p>Also, instead of facing the incompetence and many obvious weaknesses of Islamic terror groups, the West has chosen to appease an enemy that only respects power. Thus, the Obama administration decided to be more concerned with appearances and saying instead of doing the right thing. For example, Obama likes to correct Americans on the proper pronunciation of Arabic names and expressions such as Pakistan and ISIL instead of ISIS, etc. But when the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was declared the West was too embarrassed to call it what it called itself, the Islamic State, and found the English abbreviation ISIS more appropriate than the Arabic name that linked the new terrorist state to Islam.</p>
<p>I was recently asked by visitors from Egypt, “What is ISIS?” My answer was, it is the preferred name the US administration and media use to refer to the newly declared Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Their response was, “Why? In Arabic they call themselves ‘The Islamic State?’” I told them it is a long story, but the West does not want to offend Muslims who believe that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, tyranny and hatred.</p>
<p>Obama insists on presenting himself as more of an expert on Islam than the founders of ISIS when he stated, &#8220;ISIL speaks for <em>no religion</em>.” It is not appropriate for the US government or media to define what is or what is not Islam to Muslims who are reading from their books statements that command them to kill infidels. All we should do is take them for their word.</p>
<p>Both the US government and media have decided, long before Obama, that it would be the wise thing to do to keep US citizens uninformed about the true goals of Islam. The goal of this policy was partially to convince Islamic terror groups to leave the West alone and perhaps in the long run Islam will reform on its own one day. But unfortunately history was not on the side of this theory. Appeasement did not work for Coptic Christians in Egypt nor for Zoroastrians in Persia when in the 7<sup>th</sup> century the two ancient civilizations fell to the Arab Islamic invasion in the same year. Both Egypt and Persia tried to appease but failed to win hearts and minds of the Muslim invaders who used the most barbaric forms of terror and tyranny to Islamize and Arabize both civilizations. Both Egypt and Persia never saw their glory days again and today they are incapable of ruling themselves without the usual Sharia-enforced oppression and tyranny.</p>
<p>What everyone misses here is the right of the American people to know the full truth about their new enemy directly and honestly from their politicians and media. By caring about the feelings of Muslims more than American citizens&#8217; right to the truth, and without naming Islam by name, the US government and media will usher America into a dark phase marking the beginning of tyranny and the end of liberty.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A disturbing look at how leftist indoctrination passes for news.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wb.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-235748" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wb.jpg" alt="wb" width="277" height="198" /></a>A lot of people are commenting that there is nothing to watch on CNN. Instead of news, CNN is daily airing hours of Anthony Bourdain travelling to experiment with food and hours of crime shows, such as &#8220;Forensic Files,&#8221; which is probably the most interesting thing to watch these days on CNN.</p>
<p>The current administration scandals and other important topics are ignored by CNN, unless they are in the context of criticism of Republicans. CNN seems to be trying to force a reality on the American public that does not exist. The majority of the American people are concerned about the economy, the scandals and the radical change the administration is forcing on the American people. Like it or not, all of the media, right and left, should be reporting on Obama&#8217;s push for such radical changes. If the leftist media supports the change, then fine, but they should go ahead and talk about why they support it, instead of pretending that nothing is happening in America.</p>
<p>The role of the media is supposed to be to keep citizens informed and educated about what is going on inside their government, in society and in the world. America under Obama has been undergoing a major change that is very alarming to many American citizens, but the mainstream media seems not to notice.</p>
<p>We now have a situation where instead of reporting on government, CNN thinks and acts as though <em>they are</em> the government. Instead of naming their shows with titles that reflect what the media&#8217;s job should be &#8212; to be a watch-dog &#8212; they have chosen to impersonate government. We thus have a show on CNN entitled, &#8220;The Situation Room&#8221; in which Wolf Blitzer reports as though CNN and the White House situation rooms are the same.</p>
<p>Another CNN show is &#8220;State of the Union.&#8221; Again here CNN is playing the role of president of the United States, reporting on the state of the union. Another unsuccessful daytime show that was canceled soon after it started was Kyra Phillips&#8217; &#8220;Raising America.&#8221; Here we see yet another maternalistic title attempting to control and teach America how to raise its kids.</p>
<p>The mainstream media have extended the separation of &#8220;Church and State&#8221; to their own reporting. In so doing, they have confused themselves with the government yet again. America has left untapped the great talent of many outstanding male and female pastors and religious leaders who would be wonderful guest and hosts of many non-religious shows. Just look at the success of Mike Huckabee on FOX. It is a shame to see disclaimers by some TV channels stating that &#8220;they are not responsible for the content&#8221; of religious shows such as the 700 Club, but the disclaimer is never made on other shows.</p>
<p>The leftist media is starting to feel the negative effects of its insincerity and bias. Instead of self-discipline and sticking to their duty to the public, they have allowed themselves to be seduced into competing with the goals and role of the government. Instead of objectively examining the causes of their shrinking viewership, they continue to impose their agenda to <em>educate</em> the public about what their of hope and change should be. Instead of reflecting what is going on in society so that the public can make informed decisions, they continue with their obsession of steering the public into their leftist agenda.</p>
<p>MSNBC has recently been trying to get the public excited about yet another <em>hope</em> and <em>change</em> initiative in a commercial called &#8220;Growing Hope.&#8221; This is what the commercial says:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When the truth is empowered to action, then truth is spoken to power; when light shines on equality and justice the seed of hope is sewn; it drives you to tackle the hard stuff; to stop gun violence; to protect voter rights; to fight so everyone has access to health care; and make sure that no one falls through the cracks; as hope grows so does the power of people. Change begins with you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The above commercial is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It promotes a high level of conformity to values that are not necessarily universally held by all Americans. In pursuit of MSNBC&#8217;s search for the perfect life, everyone will shame and blame the other for allowing someone else to fall through the cracks. The end result will be confusion, disappointment and pitting people against one another, instead of promoting values of self-reliance, taking responsibility and pulling oneself up by one&#8217;s boot straps and doing what is best for oneself, one&#8217;s family and one&#8217;s community.</p>
<p>I have come from an area of the world that is in desperate need for hope and change, the Middle East, and this lesson is not for America. Of course, America like any nation, needs constant fine-tuning to get better and better, but those behind the MSNBC commercial have no clue what the American people need, can or cannot do. The American people need jobs and less government obstacles. They don&#8217;t need to be shamed into not measuring up to MSNBC&#8217;s unrealistic expectations. They do not need to be changed into conforming robots with hopes of false rights and duties.</p>
<p>It is not the job of the media to promote the perfect society where health care is a right; or as MSNBC puts it &#8220;the healthcare you deserve.&#8221; Healthcare will never be a right because human beings cannot have rights that obligate another human being to do something for them. Healthcare is a commodity that requires doctors to provide a service and doctors will only do their job when they are paid.</p>
<p>The US current dysfunctional media need a major overhaul. They need to treat people like adults so they can act like adults, leave governing to the government, and leave us, citizens, to decide what is best for us, our families and our nation.</p>
<p>I lived half of my life in the Middle East under a &#8220;government-controlled media&#8221; and I will not accept to live the second half under a &#8220;media-controlled government.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at a Muslim doctrine that employs two polar opposite weapons against unbelievers. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/taqiyya.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-235227" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/taqiyya.jpg" alt="taqiyya" width="307" height="215" /></a>There is more bad news for moderate Muslims who deny any connection between Islam and terror and who insist on convincing the West that no one should interpret Quranic commandments to kill, behead, torture, terrorize, humiliate, belittle and never befriend the non-believer, as violent.</p>
<p>As I was watching an <a href="http://aljazeera.net/programs/religionandlife/2008/5/11/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%A8-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%A8">Arabic Aljazeerah TV show</a>, which did not have a date, called “Sharia and Hayaa,” meaning Islamic law and life, the topic was “Dawaa Baina Al Tarhib Wal Targhib,” Arabic for “Preaching between Terror and Lure.” The word &#8220;dawaa&#8221; means preaching or spreading Islam. &#8220;Tarhib&#8221; is derived from the word &#8220;irhab&#8221; or terror, and &#8220;tarhib&#8221; means to instill terror. Incidentally, the Quran encourages Muslims to “instill terror through the hearts of unbelievers.” The word &#8220;targhib&#8221; means luring or making something attractive. I am sure Islamic apologists will dispute the interpretation since they never admit that the word &#8220;kill&#8221; in the Quran means &#8220;kill&#8221; anyway.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tarhib Wal TarghibI&#8221; is an Islamic doctrine that the West and many Muslims are unfamiliar with but that demonstrates yet another clear connection between Islam and terror. This doctrine promotes the use of two extreme tools to bring people and nations to submit to Islam. Such polar opposite and extreme techniques penetrate Islamic society from top to bottom; they are encouraged in child rearing, in the relationship between men and women, leaders and citizens, mosque preachers and the congregation, Arab media and the public, and even between Islamic nations and the West &#8212; the nations they wish to conquer or lure to Islam.</p>
<p>A Quranic verse (The Rock 49-50) was mentioned at the beginning of the show stating that Allah said: “tell my worshippers that I am the beneficent the merciful and my torture [Athab] is a painful one”; two opposite extreme descriptions of Allah, or more accurately Mohammed himself, that became the foundation of the contradictory doctrine of Islam.</p>
<p>It must be noted that Arabic Aljazeerah discusses Islam in a totally different light from English Aljazeerah, which is designed to lure Westerners to the idea that Islam is peaceful while defending terror as freedom fighting.</p>
<p>This doctrine is a summation of what the Quran is all about, terror and lure, and promotes such extremely but powerful and raw cultural attributes of Muslim society; shame and pride. Such a doctrine has also evolved from Mohammed&#8217;s character when he failed to peacefully evangelize through persuasion and &#8220;lure&#8221; and therefore had to flip tactics, going straight to pure terror. Thus his famous saying &#8220;I have been victorious through terror.&#8221;</p>
<p>The show&#8217;s questions were more interesting than the answers. The host, Othman Othman, was trying to bring the guest, Islamic Dawah “preaching” expert Dr. Salman Alawda, to state that Islam equally balances the two extreme tools of terror and peaceful teaching. These were some of his questions: Many say terror and bullying are necessary. How do we achieve balance regarding the names of Allah between punishment and forgiveness? Why is it that the agony side often prevails over the mercy side? Are hardship and pain required for their own sake when it comes to Islamic legislation? Why does the discussion of the torment of the grave, death and the afterlife turn into a terrifying discussion? Why are Salafis more inclined to use fear/terror factor regarding global advocacy? Some ask, shouldn’t we [Muslims] be judged as imperfect humans anyway?</p>
<p>The host, while exalting Islam, the Quran and Mohammed, was desperately trying to get a glimmer of hope with his questions to bring out any trace of joy and hope for Muslims who want to enjoy life right here on Earth, but are not getting such a message from Islamic teachings. Unfortunately the guest provided very little hope when he skillfully spinned that Islam does have a balance. But what failed the guest was the fact that values of joy, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and making the world a better place, do not exist in the Quran. The guest could not give the host the good news, when he asserted that seeking pleasure and happiness on earth is equal to death. The guest’s discussion of the good life for Muslims was narrowed down to the after life in the Islamic jannah, heaven. Thus the Islamic promise of virgins and carnal pleasure became the infamous lure Islam uses on the jihadis, pushing them into waging Allah’s war of terror on his enemies: the unbelievers.</p>
<p>The lesson America needs to learn and get united under is that we, the West, right now are under assault by the good old Islamic doctrine of Terror and Lure; two sides of the polar opposite and deceptive face of Islam.</p>
<p>If the West continues to believe that Islam is a religion of peace, then unfortunately for the West they will suffer irrevocable consequences.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Western civilization really successful because of Islam?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Burqa.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-234848" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Burqa-255x350.jpg" alt="FRANCE BURQA" width="255" height="350" /></a>My dear friend Ali Sina mentioned in his most recent article that a Muslim professor, Hossein Askari, believes that Western nations lead the World in &#8220;Islamic values&#8221; and that most Muslim nations practice the least Islamic values. I have heard such nonsense before from some Muslims, some of whom were my relatives. I will never forget the strange look on my Christian American husband&#8217;s face when an elderly Muslim man visiting from Egypt told him: &#8220;You are such a fine young man, you have the character of a true Muslim.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is not unusual for Muslims to describe non-Muslims whom they perceive as good as having &#8220;Islamic values.&#8221; Many Christians in Egypt have to suffer hearing comments by Muslims such as: &#8220;You are so good, you must convert to Islam, you have the character of a true Muslim.&#8221;</p>
<p>How can educated Muslims professors make ridiculous claims like that Ireland “leads the world in Islamic values as Muslim states lag”? Islamic logic, in that case, says, if Irish people have noses, eyes, arms and legs like Muslims then they must be Muslim. This twisted logic wants to hide the truth: that many Muslims no longer want to live under Islamic values, but since that is considered apostasy in Islam, the only way out is to claim life in the land of the Great Satan is really equal to living the true Islamic life.</p>
<p>Muslims are trained to adjust reality to Islamic propaganda; thus everything good must come from Islam and everything bad comes from the Kafir non-believer. So it is Islamic logic to believe that if Christians are good then they must be Muslim, but they just don&#8217;t know it yet.</p>
<p>The Muslim dilemma about the West gets more complicated when over 70% of Muslim youth are desperately trying to leave the Muslim world to immigrate to Western nations. Many Muslims are stunned, disappointing and filled with envy when they compare infidel and Islamic nations and discover that infidels have achieved what Muslims could only dream of. Such an awakening by Muslims flies against the Islamic propaganda that has indoctrinated generations into believing that Islam is the solution.</p>
<p>So if Islam is the solution, how come Muslims are happier in the West? Simple: Muslims discovered what the West failed to understand about their own values; According to Muslims, it is Islamic values &#8212; so &#8220;Allahu Akbar&#8221; anyway.</p>
<p>Islam has trained the Islamic mind to solve any contradictions with the goal of making sure that Islam looks good at any cost. In other words, reality has to adjust to Islamic teachings. Muslims must never admit that Western success is attributed to the Judeo-Christian value system. That is why Muslim professors on American college campuses claim that Western cultural success is due to Islamic and not Biblical values, and that the US Constitution is Sharia compliant.</p>
<p>This is nothing new for Islam, Mohammed himself claimed that Christianity and Judaism, which preceded Islam by thousands of years, are in fact Islam, but have just been corrupted. Mohammed started by linking himself to the Abrahamic line in order to get legitimacy and after that he discredited the Jews and Christians as apes, pigs and enemies of Allah. Mohammed taught his followers that Abraham, Jesus, Moses etc., all are in fact Muslims and have Islamic values.</p>
<p>Because of Islamic Sharia&#8217;s severe and humiliating punishments, Muslims had to mold their thinking to never venture outside the Islamic mental box. Muslims who are brave enough to think critically for themselves will easily find Islamic values, summed up in Sharia, to be the antithesis of Biblical values.</p>
<p>Mr. Askari, like many devout Muslims, refuses to judge Islam by its fruits that are exploding all around the world. Instead of graciously giving credit where it is due &#8212; to the fruits of the Bible &#8212; he chose to slap Western culture in the face by shamelessly teaching that Western nations&#8217; success is due to Islamic values. Amazing, that sounds exactly like Mohammed.</p>
<p>This line of thought fits perfectly with the jihadists who are hell bent on violently converting the West to Islam. But the smart stealth jihadist Muslims choose to leave violent jihad to others, and would rather tell the American people that everything good is Islamic and that the corrupted values of the Bible could not have resulted in the fruits of Western success.</p>
<p>Askari probably feels that the poor Western citizens just don&#8217;t know what Islam already knows, but are unaware that the West is practicing Islamic values more than Muslims themselves.</p>
<p>Most Muslims are unaware that it is Muslim culture that heavily borrowed from the Bible. Muslims often say &#8220;don&#8217;t go to bed angry&#8221; but are unaware that this is a Biblical value and not a Quranic value. They say &#8220;Salamu Alaykum&#8221; and respond by saying &#8220;Alaykum El Salam&#8221; but are unaware that they have borrowed this from Jews&#8217; &#8220;Shalom Aleikhem&#8221; and the response &#8220;Aleikhem Shalom.&#8221; They say that Islam is a religion of peace when in fact Islam advocates war and relentlessly urges its followers to die in war while killing the enemies of their Allah.</p>
<p>The so called &#8220;moderate Muslims&#8221; who advocate that the US Constitution is Sharia compliant, are dangerous because they are stealth jihadists who have no loyalty to the US Constitution and what America is all about. Their loyalty is to the Islamic agenda of the establishment of the Khalifate. The religion of Mohammed has produced millions of people who think like Askari who are constantly struggling with a severe case of ethnocentrism.</p>
<p>Western nations so far have based their way of life on Judeo-Christian values of the Bible; a book outlawed by Islam under penalty of death. It is time for American college campuses to get rid of Muslim teachers who under the guise of research are advocating Islam 101.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The high price that heroes like Ayaan Hirsi Ali pay for telling the truth about Sharia. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Ayaan-Hirsi.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-225133" alt="Ayaan-Hirsi" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Ayaan-Hirsi-450x270.jpg" width="315" height="189" /></a>It is a tragedy and a shame that it had to take the mass kidnapping and sexual enslavement of 300 Nigerian girls by Muslim jihadists for the world to finally express its outrage over Sharia’s evil deeds. Similar stories of Christian girls being kidnapped, forcibly married and converted to Islam by their Muslim captors, have been a reality for decades. But unfortunately, and tragically, they have been ignored by our mainstream media. Only a few &#8220;Islamophobic&#8221; journalists have cared enough to report on such atrocities in Egypt, Syria and elsewhere &#8212; until reality exploded to such a great magnitude that it awakened the world&#8217;s conscience.</p>
<p>Former Muslim women like Wafa Sultan, Ayan Hirsi Ali and myself have been writing and speaking about the oppression of women in Islamic society for a long time now. I have written a book dedicated to connecting the dots between Islamic law and such kidnappings, rapes and other forms of oppression of women. But instead of helping our voices be heard, the leftist media and academia have ignored us, called us names and done everything in their power to silence us. They have treated the American people like children who are told they should not be outraged about far away cultural practices &#8212; because all cultures are equal.</p>
<p>Advocates of cultural relativism who are brutal in judging conservative and Christian Americans, and call them slanderous names, have no problem in tolerating Islamic tyranny over women and other minorities.</p>
<p>After 9/11 Americans asked: “Where are the voices of Arab Americans who condemn Islamic terrorism?” This question led a few brave former Muslim women to stand up and speak. But when we did (at our own peril), the leftist media and academia called us &#8220;Islamophobes&#8221; and &#8220;racists.” What is Islamophobic and racist about warning America about the tyranny of the barbaric religious legal system that we lived under and came to America to escape from its vicious clutches?</p>
<p>Muslims have convinced the leftist elites that criticism of Islamic doctrine is a hateful phobia equal to hating all Muslim people. Students who wanted to learn the truth about Sharia and its implications on women, jihad, the Arab Israeli conflict and terrorism, have been intimidated and forced to withdraw their invitation to former Muslim women speakers.</p>
<p>Not only have Muslim Brotherhood front groups and the Left succeeded in silencing speech critical of Islam, but reports about Islamic atrocities around the world have been suppressed &#8212; until now, when one horrifying story of an Islamic crime against humanity could not be contained.</p>
<p>And so now, with the Nigerian kidnapping story, Islam’s dirty little secret has been exposed: <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/jamie-glazov/islam-slavery-and-rape/">Sharia legalizes</a> the taking of female hostages as sexual slaves in the jihad battle against non-Muslims. And since the jihad battle against non-Muslims is taught as a permanent institution, the kidnapping, rape and enslavement can happen at any time. In fact, the Islamic Nigerian mass kidnappers, who are experts on Sharia, are bragging on camera about their actions because they are told by their books and Islamic education that what they did is holy and legal under Allah.</p>
<p>American students who invite experts on Middle Eastern culture and critics of Sharia, like myself, must endure horrific pressure to cancel our invitations. No matter what horror happens under Islam, we end up being dismissed by the Left as &#8220;Islamophobes.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a result of the suppression of the truth about Islamic oppression of women, the American public is left ignorant about what is going on in the Islamic world. Thus it takes huge acts of violence, such as the Nigeria mass girl kidnapping or 9/11 to wake Americans up. But for how long can the West afford to ignore Islamic tyranny? I hope not until Islamic jihadists do a similar kidnapping of 300 American girls.</p>
<p>Our culture&#8217;s suppression of speech is severely detrimental to the future of this country, which is on its way to embracing Sharia as just another set of laws that must be respected, since, as we are taught, all cultures and religions are equal.</p>
<p>It is high time for American leftist feminists to acknowledge the truth about Islamic oppression of women. Kidnapping of girls, sexual slavery, female genital mutilation, wife beating, legal discrimination against women in the courtroom and other forms of oppression of women, must never be tolerated under the excuse of cultural relativism.</p>
<p>The same leftists who ignore Islamic Sharia tyranny are also the ones who support anti-Semitism also spreading on college campuses.  The offensive annual Israel Apartheid Week must end, otherwise pro-Israel students must be free to invite speakers to counter the anti-Israel propaganda.</p>
<p>Just in the last month, I was cancelled twice after being invited to speak on college campuses due to intimidation by leftists and Islamic groups. Muslim radical groups brag about our cancellation like a badge of honor, the same way the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt brags about silencing the opposition. Suppression of speakers who expose the atrocities of Islamic law has become a shameful chronic condition on American campuses. It is true that Sharia forbids the criticism of Islam, but we should never forget that the US Constitution does not.</p>
<p>The situation in America today is upside down, where we see the American Left tolerating Islamic intolerance and protecting Islam’s dirty little secrets from coming to light. We are not doing Muslims and Islam a favor with this cover-up and appeasement. Blatant atrocities against women by Muslims around the world must be exposed and rejected.</p>
<p>It is time for the West to condemn Islamic Sharia law by name.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in U.S. history, an American administration not only buys Jihadist excuses for terrorism, but facilitates them. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/obama5.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-224602" alt="obama5" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/obama5-450x210.jpg" width="315" height="147" /></a>Shocking White House emails released to the public Tuesday by government watchdog group Judicial Watch shed new light on the Obama administration&#8217;s brazen dishonesty with the public about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Statements from top Obama adviser Ben Rhodes confirm what critics have long alleged: that the Obama administration&#8217;s to priority in the wake of the attack was not to seek justice for the fallen or confront the threat to our nation, but to lie to the public about the nature of the attack in order to improve President Obama&#8217;s image in an election year.</p>
<p>It is the tragedy of our times that that the US government advocated the video excuse as a justification for the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi &#8212; or even the attack on the US embassy in Cairo on 9/11/12. It should be common knowledge to Western governments by now that Islamic leadership habitually justifies Islamic terrorism as a reaction to some kind of injustice or offense perpetrated against Muslims. This happens all the time in the commission of terrorist attacks or after they have been perpetrated. But instead of exposing the Islamic lie as usual, America facilitated the terrorists&#8217; excuses. This is not a bad deal for jihadists who are only too happy to see nations victimized by terror defend jihad on behalf of Muslims.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, Muslims over many centuries have trained Coptic Christians and other Middle East oppressed minorities to blame themselves for Islamic jihad and to ignore the obvious Islamic jihad violence.</p>
<p>Since jihad against other nations is a violation of international law, Muslims have discovered that they have no choice but to lie about their motivation and religious obligation to engage in jihad. It is not the author of this article who is saying this about Muslim culture, but the Islamic law books themselves; they clearly state that Muslims are obliged to lie if it is for the benefit of Islam.</p>
<p>Lying to justify jihad comes to people of the Middle East naturally and without hesitation. Even I was guilty of protecting Islamic jihad at any cost when I used to be a young journalist in the Middle East years ago. Lying to protect Islam has thus developed into a virtue that comes naturally to Muslims after centuries of forced practice of the Sharia obligation &#8212; and most Muslims no longer realize the connection to Sharia nor realize that what they are saying is lying.</p>
<p>Muslims shamelessly justified 9/11 with incredible fabricated stories about oppression of Muslims, America’s foreign policy, the occupation, etc. But when such excuses were discredited, the Muslim leadership never gave up and, until today, continues the blame game. The versions range from how Arabs could not have accomplished such a sophisticated terror attack by airplanes (their favorite excuse) to how 9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy or that the American government itself is behind it, etc.</p>
<p>No one in the Bush administration was so reckless as to buy any of the Arab excuses. Even NYC mayor at the time, Rudy Guiliani, would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. America cannot afford to collaborate with Arab excuses over terrorism under any circumstances. If America accepts Islamic excuses for terror it is not just an invitation to more terror, but it is descending to the level of banana republics, which fool their own people into believing lies.</p>
<p>Western nations have always understood this pathological Islamic game and never bought it &#8212; until Sept 11, 2012, when the Obama administration coordinated an excuse for the violent attacks on the US Embassy in Cairo to avoid the embarrassment that al-Qaeda was alive and well even in Egypt, which was headed by the Muslim Brotherhood at the time. It was the first time in US history that one could see the US government not only buying the jihadist excuse, but also facilitating it.</p>
<p>The US State Department, even before the attacks in Binghazi, issued a statement to support the Egyptian government’s claims that the violent demonstrations were about a video when the rioters themselves never carried any signs indicating the problem was the video. What the rioters carried were al-Qaeda black flags, which they placed on top of the US Embassy building on the day they believe that Islamic jihad triumphed over the great Satan. The State Department statement said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The above statement by the embassy was meant to tell the Egyptian government, “We believe your lie” and to provide acceptable talking points to Egypt as to the cause and nature of the riots. This is the first time in Islamic history where a nation that is a victim of Islamic terror has ended up participating in providing an excuse for terror. The Obama administration facilitated Islamic deceit to cover up jihadist terrorism. That is how the Muslim world viewed America’s apology over the video.</p>
<p>Until the release of the Judicial Watch emails, White House Jay Carney wanted to convince America and the world that Benghazi was a reaction to “broader protests in the region” due to the video, when in fact it was a coordinated excuse between the Egyptian government and the US government. This coordination helped both governments save face. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood administration did not have to apologize to the US and at the same time, the Obama administration did not have to engage in a military confrontation with al-Qaeda a few weeks before the elections. Thus the video was the only excuse that helped both sides, the perpetrator and the victim, to bury the inconvenient hatchet.</p>
<p>According to a friend of mine in Egypt, who wishes to remain anonymous, the rioters against the US embassey in Cairo on Sept 11, 2012 had no clue about any video initially, but were motivated by doing something against the US on the 9/11 anniversary. The apology from the US Embassy gave the terrorists and also the Egyptian police protecting the embassy the feeling that the rioters were justified.</p>
<p>Obama has a natural instinct about the Arab psyche and entertains it more than what is acceptable by American standards. It is sad to see that the Obama administration instinctively feels a need to make excuses for terrorism the same way Muslims have been trained to do for centuries.</p>
<p>Obama is training the American mind to ignore their instincts, what they see, hear and believe about Islam.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The president eases immigration requirements for those linked to terror.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/JIHAD1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-218423" alt="JIHAD1" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/JIHAD1-381x350.jpg" width="381" height="350" /></a>President Obama has unilaterally changed the immigration law to allow asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists, to immigrate to the US. This is happening at a time when force is being used in Egypt &#8212; and elsewhere in the Middle East &#8212; against the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis, terrorists and their sympathizers. This is a time when Islamists have few places to go to in the wide-open desert atmosphere of the Middle East, except perhaps to join the mess in Syria and Iraq, or otherwise reform and become ordinary citizens.</p>
<p>Obama could not have picked a worse time to ease immigration requirements for those linked to terror, and who have nowhere else to go and have suddenly found themselves, after the counter-revolution in Egypt, as targets for imprisonment, contempt, or even shooting.</p>
<p>Islamists are now undoubtedly celebrating Obama’s decision to ease the pressure on immigration of terror-linked individuals. Indeed, where else can they go to practice their fanaticism and find newly found respectability and hospitality? To America.</p>
<p>By weakening immigration laws that protect Americans from Islamic terror, Obama is now sending the wrong message both to his own citizens and to the Muslim world. He is basically saying that he does not mind taking in fleeing terrorists and their sympathizers. And he does not seem to care at all about appearances or if he this casts more suspicion on his reputation, despite the constant rumors we all know about, that he is a secret Muslim and that his brother Malik has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.</p>
<p>What is also strange is the US State Department is not welcoming fleeing Christians in the Middle East as they should. Most of the visa applications submitted by the desperate and oppressed Egyptian Christians are denied. It was reported that only about 800 to 900 applications were approved by the US for Christian Egyptian immigrants out of 20,000 applications.</p>
<p>This also comes amidst accusations and rumors in Egypt that President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are aiding terrorists and conspiring with the Muslim Brotherhood. One would think that the US would be happy that the Egyptian government and others are clamping down on radical Muslim groups who are ruining the lives of the ordinary citizens in the Middle East. But instead, the Obama administration  changes immigration laws for their “eyes only” to welcome escaping Muslim troublemakers whose activities are now unwelcome in Egypt.</p>
<p>Obama is doing this not only amidst claims that he is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, but he also appears to the Muslim world as responding positively to the radical Sunni Cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who recently called on the US government to wage jihad for Allah, to help support the “freedom fighters,” meaning terrorists, in Syria, and adding that “Allah willing, your [US] aid will increase.” This is the first time in history that a radical Muslim leader publicly asks America to join in the jihad for the sake of Allah.</p>
<p>This is also the same administration that revoked the asylum visa already granted to a German Christian family by a Memphis immigration judge. Obama’s Department of Justice is forcing the deportation of a peaceful Christian German family that seeks refuge in the US to home-school their children. It is the same administration that is allowing the illegal immigrant relatives of Obama to live in US public housing and that  granted Obama’s Kenyan brother a 501c3 non-profit status within 30 days of his application, while patriotic Tea Party citizens have not received theirs yet after a three and four year wait.</p>
<p>Reverse discrimination is being practiced in the open by the Obama administration against Christians, whites and other patriotic citizens like Dinesh D’Souza and the Tea Party.</p>
<p>To the savvy analyst of Muslim culture, Obama’s immigration policy is clearly supporting the Islamic jihad agenda and helping to transplant jihadists&#8217; activities in a new unsuspecting land. It is aiding the spread of the &#8220;Religion of Peace” propaganda in our public schools and making the questioning of Muslims taboo even for our homeland security. This administration is creating a new generation of Americans that is being indoctrinated at a similar level of indoctrination that is occurring to Arab kids in the Islamic Middle East. All the while, the Islamists to claim their supposed victim-hood as an excuse for their belligerence and dominance. And they  use and abuse US fears of being called racist or Islamophobic every time an American objects to Islam as oppressive. This way they can build mosques everywhere, including on the ruins of 9/11, while churches are being destroyed in the Middle East.</p>
<p>One can&#8217;t help but marvel at how easy America has capitulated after only one major terror attack.</p>
<p>The reckless and dire situation regarding Islamic immigration and penetration &#8212; and putting certain foreign interests ahead of American citizens &#8212; has really gotten out of hand. Most sane-minded Americans are frozen, defeated and helpless. America, with Obama’s blessings, is slipping away and surrendering to the Islamic invasion. And if anyone objects, they are called the “R” word: Racist.</p>
<p>In whose best interest is Obama working for? Not even the liberals should celebrate this. While pacifying the radical left with the failed Obamacare and other environment and energy projects, the president keeps them busy defending him against the big bad Republicans. What need does the US meet when it welcomes in those who had some connections with terror groups? Who is America pandering to or targeting to give asylum to? Why gamble with the safety, security and peace of American citizens to that extent?</p>
<p>If this situation continues, the American people will wake up one day with Muslim-only zones across the US, women and gays harassed and persecuted in every US city that will be prone Chechnya-style terrorism and calls for a separatist movement. This is the history of Islam repeating itself wherever it goes.</p>
<p>It is time for a Tahrir ‘freedom’ square movement in America against the progressives who put Obama in office.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why the Olympics strike at the heart of Islamic ideology -- and why jihadists yearn to annihilate them.  ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/zaw1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-218178" alt="zaw" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/zaw1.jpg" width="307" height="210" /></a>Coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, has so far been over-shadowed by the threat of terror from Islamic jihadists. Cursing videos posted on the Internet by jihadists promise that the “demon Olympics” will have an “atmosphere of fear and terror” and tell the athletes that “Satan is with you.” Even Egyptian-born al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri gave his blessings by calling for a “global jihad” against the Sochi games.</p>
<p>While the world waits for the Olympic games once every four years to celebrate humanity&#8217;s best qualities of excellence, cooperation and respectful competition, Muslim jihadists watch the games with bitterness, envy and criticism. Competitive sports are not an important Islamic value, especially if compared to the mental and physical training of Islamic youth for jihad. It is important to note that Islamic culture often discourages competitive sports, singing, dancing and self-expression, and this is the fundamental reason why there are few prominent Muslim athletes.</p>
<p>Few medals are won by Muslim nations who often participate symbolically in the games. With the exception of soccer, Muslim youth have few athletic outlets, and most of their soccer training is done in narrow streets with constant car and pedestrian interruption.</p>
<p>As for Muslim female athletes, just take a look at the female Saudi team trying to compete while wearing their Islamic garb. While Islamic nations claim to be close brothers, female Muslim teams hardly ever compete amongst themselves within Islamic countries. Why then do Muslim countries even bother to participate with a female team in the Olympics if female sports are discouraged and are contrary to Islamic cultural norms? Like many Islamic activities at the international arena, Islamic female Olympic teams are intended not for sports and winning as much as they are intended to prove to the world that Muslim women are free and liberated. The whole thing &#8212; participation of Islamic female athletes in the Olympics &#8212; is a sham rejected as un-Islamic inside Muslim culture.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/sd1.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-218243 aligncenter" alt="sd" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/sd1.gif" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>The Olympics evoke Islamic shortcomings and envy of the outside world and feed into their victim mentality &#8212; thus, Islamic silence over terror threats to the Olympics. Jihadists could not care less about what the Olympics represent to the rest of the world: an opportunity to compete and acknowledge the hard work of nations and individuals who sacrificed time, money and strenuous training to excel and to hopefully win fair and square.</p>
<p>While the world is hungry for hope, unity, harmony and a peaceful future, Muslim jihadists plot to ruin it for everyone else. That is not a coincidence, because Olympic values of cooperation, brotherhood and respect between nations regardless of religion, color, national origin and gender strikes at the heart of the Islamic supremacist ideology.</p>
<p>Fake grievances, causes and claims of oppression by the Chechnya rebels and their black widows are excuses to camouflage their jihadist aspirations and their inability to express themselves except through what they were trained to do as a sport: terror. Fair competition is not what the Islamic supremacists understand or are trained to do. What they want is world domination and special treatment because they are told it is their right as Muslims.</p>
<p>Even Islamic media coverage of the Olympics is often colored with envy and criticism, especially over female bikinis in volleyball and bathing suits in swimming. Frustration over not measuring up to infidel teams has driven some Muslim leaders, like for Saddam Hussein and his sons, to threaten soccer athletes who lose with torture and murder.</p>
<p>Fun athletic competition regardless of gender and other Islamic taboos are hard to reconcile with Islamic values. That is why it is not a coincidence that Islamic jihad is often directed against sports events in the West, such as the Boston Marathon, where three were killed and hundreds injured and maimed by Chechen immigrants to the U.S.</p>
<p>Now the world is left with a legitimate question:</p>
<p><em>“Where is the massive and sincere condemnation of the Islamic terror threats against the Olympics, by ‘moderate’ Muslim?”</em></p>
<p>The West is told over and over again that moderate Muslims are the majority, but such a majority has never been able to control or stop jihadists, who, we are told, have misunderstand the true peaceful nature of Islam.</p>
<p>What will it take for Muslims to take responsibility for Islamic jihad and end their constant cover-up for Islamic shortcomings? Will they ever end the defensiveness, be honest and truthful about the negative effect of Islam as it is practiced today, on world peace, happiness and prosperity? Will they continue to choose to remain mentally isolated, un-assimilated, offended and accusing the rest of the world of not understanding Islam?</p>
<p>Will jihadists ever turn around and embrace their humanity like the Grinch did with Christmas and finally join the celebrations? Or will they remain a burden on humanity as the Islamic Grinch that stole the Olympics?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why almost all the Obama scandals have female faces behind them. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/hillary.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-217553" alt="hillary" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/hillary.jpg" width="307" height="173" /></a>It is not a coincidence that most of the Obama administration scandals happened under the leadership of women. The Obama administration chooses to surround itself with &#8220;yes men&#8221; and &#8220;yes women,&#8221; but liberal &#8220;yes women&#8221; have an advantage: it is hard to criticize and grill them when a scandal happens without being accused of sexism and being a bigoted woman-hater.</p>
<p>In our current political environment, liberal politicians in general, men and women, get away with a lot more than conservative politicians because of media liberal bias. But liberal female politicians can get away with a lot more than their male counterparts, and that explains why almost all the Obama scandals have female faces behind them. Under ordinary conditions, men or women should end up becoming fall guys or gals, but many of the women behind the Obama scandals end up rewarded, sometimes even with a better position.</p>
<p>The Benghazi scandal supposedly hurt several women: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ambassador Susan Rice and Charlene Lamb, among others. It is clear that the White House, for an unknown reason, manipulated the State Department’s decision-making process regarding Benghazi and Clinton went along. Hillary, who wants to be president, has recently stated that she regrets Benghazi, but her &#8220;regret&#8221; would be more accurately described as her &#8220;failure&#8221; to be her own boss in the State Department.</p>
<p>When the Benghazi scandal exploded, the administration had to quickly find a &#8220;yes&#8221; liberal woman to take Hillary’s place on TV. Susan Rice thus came to the rescue when Hillary refused to face the music in public. The White House and the media did everything they could to shield Hillary from the scandal &#8212; even from her own investigators, the State Department Accountability Review Board. The Review Board issued their report without interviewing the boss, Hillary, but they accused yet another woman, Ms. Lamb, for failure in leadership when her office denied providing extra security to the US Ambassador in Libya. But low and behold, Ms. Lamb, who was accused of dropping the ball, was never fired and instead was rewarded by the same State Department that gave her another key position.</p>
<p>Few men can, with a straight face, expect to get away with yelling back to questions in Congress, “What difference does it make?” Only a liberal woman with an entitlement mentality can get away with something like that without becoming the laughing stock of Saturday Night Live. Nothing works better to manipulate public opinion more than an offended woman questioned by a nasty, bigoted Republican male.</p>
<p>The Affordable Care Act scandal also had many women behind it and could never have passed Congress without Nancy Pelosi who, like Hillary, feels entitled to immunity from criticism. Pelosi bragged she would stop at nothing to pass the bill when she said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We’ll go through the gate. If the gate’s closed, we’ll go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we’ll pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, we’ll parachute in but we&#8217;re going to get health care reform passed for the America people.</p></blockquote>
<p>No man could have gotten away without scrutiny for a statement like: &#8220;We have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what&#8217;s in it.” Only in the current liberal environment can the media make a self-made woman like Sarah Palin the subject of ridicule material, while taking someone like Pelosi seriously.</p>
<p>After Pelosi passed the healthcare bill, another woman took over its implementation: Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. While only a few have read or comprehended Obamacare, Sebelius happily took over the job and consistently expressed confidence that everything was under control. She never prepared America for a possible disaster until the opening day of October 1st when the disaster exploded.</p>
<p>Women, who don’t like to be questioned, were also the face of the IRS Scandal. Before taking the 5<sup>th</sup>, Louis Lerner gave herself the right to state she had done nothing wrong. Lerner’s boss at the IRS, Sarah Ingram, was director of the office that oversaw tax-exempt organizations during the targeting of conservative groups. But again, instead of a demotion, she was promoted to lead the Obamacare office.</p>
<p>While Democrats accuse Republicans of a &#8220;War on Women,&#8221; they have no problem in using liberal a woman as a shield from scandal. These women act untouchable and entitled and are guarded by a liberal media who will viciously attack Republicans whose job is supposed to be the loyal opposition. But how can you be an effective opposition if your opponent claims gender discrimination every time you question all these liberal women leaders?</p>
<p>Even if these women are exposed to scandal, they act like they have been wronged, deserve to be rewarded, insist on staying the course, claim the 5<sup>th</sup> and even get promoted. When Hillary Clinton put up with and defended her husband’s accusations of sexual harassment on the job, she managed to appear as the victim who deserved to be elected Senator, Secretary of State and perhaps the Democratic nominee for President. You see, we owe her.</p>
<p>The mainstream media and academia have produced generations of American women with a constant chip on their shoulder, with unrealistic expectations who perceive life’s challenges as a personal attack because they are women. Ironically, these are the same women who ignore Islamic scandals of honor killing, female genital mutilation and killing of apostates. Some of them even go as far as accusing critics of Islam of being &#8220;Islamophobes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some liberal women’s feelings of entitlement end up driving them to exaggerate and lie about their background to get special treatment. Two examples are Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and State Senator Wendy Davis of Texas. One can only imagine what kind of work environment these women will create around them.</p>
<p>The current leftist political culture surrounding women is setting them up either to fail or to turn them into female dictators in an authoritarian mommy state that will threaten the fabric of our free society. Under the guise of &#8220;we are pro-women&#8221; the Left is using women as tools to silence criticism and inquiry of scandals. While the mainstream media places liberal women on a pedestal, it hammers, ridicules and uses vile insults on air to describe conservative women.</p>
<p>And we let them get away with it.</p>

This has been confirmed in<a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/arnold-ahlert/robert-gates-confirms-party-of-defeat-narrative/"> Robert Gates&#8217; new memoir</a>, “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War,” in which the former Secretary of Defense demonstrates that Obama does not believe in his own strategy regarding the Afghan war and that the president always just wanted to extricate America out of the conflict.</p>
<p>Forcing America out of Afghanistan was what all Arab and Islamic countries have hoped to achieve. Muslims have zero tolerance for infidel foreigners on Muslim land, even if the land is being used as a base by al-Qaeda for terrorism. That is Islamic logic.</p>
<p>Obama appears to be unsettled and torn in his decision-making process; a dangerous characteristic for any leader. That is probably the reason why his Affordable Care Act was a disaster &#8212; because, with Obama, there is often a gap between what he wants and what he does. We are told over and over again that Obamacare was the president’s signature legislation, but could it be that Obamacare is just like the president&#8217;s Afghan strategy, in which Obama says one thing, but does not really have his heart in his words?</p>
<p>What exactly is Obama’s true passion?</p>
<p>A signature legislation should take the full attention of the president in terms of crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s. It is what every president oversees at every step to avoid any embarrassment, especially if such legislation was passed without a single vote from the opposing party. Even though health care has always been central to the agenda of the Democratic Party, it does not appear to be number one on Obama’s mind because he totally relied on others to create and oversee Obamacare. However, he did appear very invested in it and rushed it through Congress by totally relying on Nancy Pelosi, who was the one who appeared to have true passion for it. Obama gave her total authority even to make ridiculous statements like <i>“</i><i>But we have to</i> <em>pass the bill</em> <i>so that you can find out what is in it.&#8221;</i><i></i> Obamacare served to keep Obama’s core supporters happy and hypnotized. Even though Obamacare has turned out to be a disaster, Obama’s supporters have never publicly acknowledged how Obama has failed them with such a defective product.</p>
<p>Only Obama, the first black president, could get away with such deception of his own constituents. Up to the Obama presidency, a high level of insincerity, double talk and deception were rarely an acceptable characteristic of American leaders. Americans understood the consequences to cultures that are tolerant to lying. Habitual tolerance to lying is a major reason why Banana Republics are economic and political basket cases where citizens have no problem with lying unless it hurts them personally.</p>
<p>Some leaders in the Arab world are especially prone to lying out of necessity. They must lie often because they live in a twisted world where truth is penalized and lies are embraced as the honorable thing to do. Every Arab leader understands that assassinations, coup d’etats and revolutions are not only a way of life, but often legal.</p>
<p>While Arab leaders are forced to lie to literally save their necks, Obama is using this insincere strategy for convenience. Why is he saying one thing and doing another? What leads him to consistently tell lies to the American people? Could it be that he knows he can get away with it?</p>
<p>Politicians in America of course do stretch reality, exaggerate and even lie, but if they are caught lying they are often finished, especially if they are Republicans. But Obama appears to be immune from scrutiny. Many American would rather put up with Obama’s insincerity, incompetence and lying than be called racist.</p>
<p>Obamacare is a mess that could only be the product of an insincere president who uses outwardly acceptable strategies that are at odds with his own internal struggles. In Afghanistan his intention was withdrawal; nevertheless he went along with the surge first, while simultaneously telegraphing to the enemy the expiration date. In healthcare his intention was socialized medicine but instead he destroyed the US health care system.</p>
<p>In that sense, Obama is similar to some leaders in the Middle East who say one thing and do another. Arab leaders, in order to be perceived as great jihadists, recklessly threaten to throw Israel in the sea, but never actually do the hard work to examine their abilities, motivation or the honesty and sincerity of their goal. The end result was miserable failure in the 1967 war; a natural outcome of insincere goals.</p>
<p>Now Obama&#8217;s insincerity brought us Obamacare; a miserable failure. If Obamacare was not the center of Obama&#8217;s ambitions, what then will Obama&#8217;s legacy be?</p>
<p>Like all presidents, Obama&#8217;s legacy will be decided by history, but the one thing that Obama seems to have succeeded in doing was the one thing closest to Obama&#8217;s heart, which acted upon first thing after he assumed office. It is bowing and being of service to the Muslim world.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s legacy will be the empowerment of Islam in America, especially in red states and the Bible belt, where Muslim immigrants are flocking in large numbers and are building mosques at a breakneck pace to challenge the Judeo/Christian culture of the heartland. The same has also taken place at the international arena where the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam have been empowered by the Obama administration, resulting in al-Qaeda dominating huge areas of the Middle East causing civil wars and chaos around Israel.</p>
<p>The difference between the negative effect of ObamaCare and Obama&#8217;s fumbles with the Muslim Brotherhood penetration, both inside and outside America, is that the former is repairable and can be overturned, but the latter will be hard to limit in terms of its damages and the resulting future instability, not only within the US but in the entire world for decades to come. The cleanup job for the next administration will be tremendous and perhaps impossible.</p>
<p>Obama will go down in history as the one who opened the door to the Islamic Trojan Horse. Obamacare was just the distraction we all fell for.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why the open borders lobby is destroying the hope for change south of the border. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/immigration-secure-border.jpeg7-1280x960.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-193702" alt="immigration-secure-border.jpeg7-1280x960" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/immigration-secure-border.jpeg7-1280x960-450x337.jpg" width="270" height="202" /></a>The debate over immigration reform, illegal aliens and border security presupposes that absorbing a constant flow of illegal immigrants, mainly from Mexico, is a good thing for Mexico and its people. But this presumption has neglected an important question: is the constant influx of poor and unskilled labor out of Mexico good for Mexico as an independent nation?</p>
<p>Even if we ignore the fact that the US cannot absorb and assimilate all the people who want to come to America, we cannot ignore the question of whether we are doing Mexico a favor with our open borders. No doubt, life as an illegal alien in the US is much better than being unemployed and poor in Mexico or any other third world country.</p>
<p>At face value illegal immigration seems to be good for Mexico, which benefits tremendously from the pouring of US dollars into its economy, supporting families and relatives of immigrants in America. That is why the Mexican government is not complaining and is happy to maintain the status quo on its borders. The government of Mexico acts like it is a right for its citizens to cross the borders into the US to find work. Not a bad deal for any government that does not want to be accountable to its own citizens to improve their lives, the economy and human rights conditions. The message of the Mexican government to its citizens is: You want a job, human rights and medical care, then go to the US if you can’t afford it here.</p>
<p>The natural urge for any country to improve comes from pressure from the lower classes that demand employment and pressure governments to work hard to educate citizens to meet the demands of job competition. By absorbing Mexico’s unskilled workers, the US government has become an enabler in this equation.</p>
<p>That is why the US government cannot claim to be an innocent victim here since it has politicized, used and abused the illegal immigration issue and narrowed it down to getting the Hispanic vote, name-calling Americans who want to respect the law and maintain border control, while neglecting the bigger picture: open border policies&#8217; impact on the rights of American citizens and the healthy functioning of both Mexican and American sovereignty and economies.</p>
<p>If the huge number of illegal immigrants from Mexico was good for Mexico as a nation, then how come its economic, political and security conditions have not improved over the years, but instead have steadily deteriorated? The steady absorption of the bottom of Mexican society by the US has deprived Mexico of its motivation to improve its economy and to become a government that serves the welfare and living conditions of its poor and unemployed. Why should Mexico work hard on improving conditions for the poor and unemployed if America is doing the job for them?</p>
<p>It is not easy for any nation to be located on the border with a giant economic super power like the United States. This situation tempts smaller nations to exist like small fish living off the crumbs and leftovers of a giant whale.</p>
<p>The situation in both Mexico and the US is unnatural and self-defeating, leaving Mexico stagnant and unmotivated to improve and meet the needs of its citizens. Groups in America who claim moral superiority for being on the side of open borders and absorbing all illegal aliens because they have big hearts are in fact absolving the Mexican government of its duty toward its citizens and economy and are contributing to the internal problems of Mexico and the United States. In the long run, we are not doing Mexico a favor with our open borders, but we are crippling them and robbing them of the healthy functioning of their nation.</p>
<p>The US should immediately end the politicization of the immigration issue not only for the sake of America, but also for the sake of Mexico. We need a sane immigration policy that respects US sovereignty and that helps Mexico become more responsible as an independent nation to end its sluggish economy and political corruption.</p>
<p>The sovereignty of both the US and Mexico has been compromised under the status quo, which is unsustainable. Either we control the US border or say goodbye to both US and Mexican sovereignty as two separate nations.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Do the "nice" Muslims you know indicate something about the real Islam? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/niqab.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-186750" alt="niqab" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/niqab.jpg" width="266" height="177" /></a><strong>This article first appeared in <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/">GateStoneInstitute.org</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Where are the articles by moderate Muslims condemning the prominent Muslims who beg Allah to strike infidels with cancer and disease? No practicing Muslim has openly condemned such prayers, or named the sheikhs who urge these brutalities.</p>
<p>The neighbors of the Chechnyan Muslim family whose sons were responsible for the Boston Marathon terror attack said they were stunned by the news and that this nice Muslim family was known for its generosity and kindness. Many Americans often ask, &#8220;What about the Muslim family next door? They are really nice people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the nicest people I know are Muslims, but that must never blind us from understanding the risk we are taking when we allow the building of hundreds of mosques financed by Saudi Arabia, as well as millions of Muslims to migrate into America at a time of a fierce, if sophisticated, desire by Islamist groups to spread Islam throughout the world, and to radicalize impressionable youths by stoking anger against the Western nations, people and values.</p>
<p>The existence of nice, educated Muslims should also never blind us from seeing the deep problems within the ideology of Islam and its jihadist goals. Muslims themselves admit that Islam is more than a religion – that it is, in fact, a state, legal system and a military institution—with the goal, as one&#8217;s holy duty, of bringing Islam to the rest of the world, a desire often enshrined deep in the hearts of Muslims.</p>
<p>Even though our visible problem is with the Muslim jihadists, the so-called &#8220;moderate&#8221; Muslims have often been silent enablers and defenders, perhaps from inertia, misinformation or fear of reprisals against them, including death threats to them and members of their family should they speak out.</p>
<p>Terrorists could never be as powerful as they are without the prayers, and especially the material support, of Islamic nations, governments and people. A Muslim Egyptian friend &#8212; one of the nicest people you will ever meet &#8212; visiting in 1994, was crying in front of the television while praying for the people of Chechnya to declare independence from Russia and declare their country an Islamic State ruled by Sharia law.</p>
<p>The critiques of Islam by this author are never written for the purpose of condemning people; naturally, there are good and bad people in every culture. My deep concern springs from the ideology of Islam: it has had such dark implications on Islamic society, forcing many, otherwise perfectly fine people, to enact unthinkable terror, as others stand silently by. Islam is the only religion that requires its followers to kill those who do not believe in Allah, and to take revenge in the name of Allah. In the Quran, holy vengeance and retaliation are commanded for Muslims<i>:</i> &#8220;O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.&#8221;  [Koran 2:178]. Or: &#8220;We shall take vengeance (Muntaquimun) upon the sinners.&#8221; [32:22] The translation of the Arabic word &#8220;Muntaquimun&#8221; meaning vengeance is often watered down in translation by using the word punishment or retribution instead.</p>
<p>It was frustrating and unsettling to hear the aunt of the two terrorists stating, from Toronto, Canada, that her two nephews were &#8220;set up,&#8221; and the terrorists&#8217; father, Anzor Tsarnaev, stating in various interviews with ABC and other stations, first that his son should give up peacefully; then that the son who was killed was framed; then that the son who was not killed should tell the truth; then warning that if the US kills his son: &#8220;all hell will break loose.&#8221;</p>
<p>Having grown up Muslim, I would urge Americans to demand more from the so called &#8220;moderate&#8221; Muslims, instead of giving them a pass for their silence, which appears a complicit defense of jihad. For too long, with some courageous exceptions, moderate Muslims hear no evil, see no evil and do nothing about it. They stand defiant, behaving as if they were victims, while the cries of Christians suffering under Islam in the Middle East are ignored. (Most Jews were forced out years ago. As the saying in Arabic goes: First the Saturday People, then the Sunday People).</p>
<p>Many moderate Muslims have been insisting that the Boston bombings have &#8220;nothing to do with Islam.&#8221; They deny there is a problem for apostates fleeing Islam, and do nothing about their arrest, the threats against them or their murder. At least 5,000 reported honor killings happen annually in the name of Allah, but moderate Muslims insist that, too, has nothing to do with Islam, and is a hold-over tribal custom, despite the Sura and verses that are used to justify it [Qur'an (18:65-81], and not only speak out against the practice, but go as far as to threaten those who expose it. Moderate Muslims also have nothing to say to the hundreds of Islamic clerics who curse non-Muslims and encourage jihad from the pulpits of mosques.</p>
<p>Where are the articles by moderate Muslims condemning the prominent Muslims who beg Allah to strike infidels with cancer and disease? The holiest mosques of Mecca blast curses at Jews and Christians over microphones &#8212; &#8220;Till they pray for death and do not receive it&#8221; &#8212; and supplicate Allah to make the lives of Christians and Jews &#8220;hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression.&#8221;</p>
<p>No true practicing Muslim, moderate or not, has openly condemned such prayers to pilgrims in Mecca or has named the sheikhs who urge these brutalities. But the majority of moderate Muslims are quick to blame American foreign policy and Israel. If America cooperates with Islamic dictators, Muslims accuse America of empowering dictators; if America removes a Saddam Hussein to give Muslims a chance for freedom, they accuse the US of interfering in their internal affairs.</p>
<p>The day Usama Bin Laden was killed, a friend called from Egypt to say that everyone was in mourning, sad over Bin Laden&#8217;s death. Does such a response to the death of a terrorist stem from moderate Islam, radical Islam, or Islam?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/nonie-darwish/courage-the-state-department/samira/" rel="attachment wp-att-181384"><img class="size-full wp-image-181384 alignleft" title="samira" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/samira.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><strong>Reprinted from <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org">Gatestone Institute</a>.</strong></p>
<p>If the U.S. government is truly serious about honoring those who want reform in the Muslim world, why is it not honoring those people who are sticking their necks out in stating their love for America and peace for Israel?</p>
<p>America has been pursuing a policy ever since 9/11 to honor what it perceives as moderate Muslims.</p>
<p>This policy, at present failed, would make sense if such moderate Muslims were pro-Western freedoms, pro-peace with Israel, anti-Sharia, or would stand up to Islamic jihad. Regrettably, Muslims and former Muslims who do stand up to Islamism have been ignored; those embraced by the West are almost always anti-American and anti-Jew, and even make excuses for jihad and terrorism.</p>
<p>The most recent instance is Samira Ibrahim, an Egyptian national, nominated &#8212; and then withdrawn &#8212; by the U.S. State Department for its prestigious &#8220;International Women of Courage Award.&#8221; In its pursuit to appease Muslims, regardless of ideology, the US ignored Ibrahim&#8217;s extreme hatred of the U.S. and Israel, and her celebration of 9/11 and terrorism. Yes, Ibrahim was courageous for <a id="_GPLITA_0" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3622/state-department-courage#">filing</a> a lawsuit against the Egyptian military for undergoing a virginity test, but that so-called courage should be viewed in the right context.</p>
<p>After the revolution, Egypt was extremely embarrassed by an international uproar over the virginity test of about 21 young women who were demonstrating in Tahrir Square. That came in the wake of the brutal sexual assault there of the CBS reporter Lara Logan. Egyptian government officials, many of whom are consumed with appearing democratic and civilized before the West, initially denied the story but then admitted it. That embarrassment was what encouraged some female victims to file a lawsuit, which the government allowed them to win in order to save face and prove to the West it had achieved a democracy after the revolution. Ms. Ibrahim was somewhat courageous for <a id="_GPLITA_1" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3622/state-department-courage#">winning</a> a lawsuit against the Egyptian military; however, that lawsuit should never have risen to the level of becoming an icon to be honored by the U.S. State Department. Officials in the State Department, thinking no one was looking into her background, perhaps including them, ignored who Ms. Ibrahim really was.</p>
<p>Ms. Ibrahim&#8217;s views are no breakthroughs of courage against the real problems of the Muslim world: her head covering remains a symbol of her defense of Sharia. She has never demonstrated against the forced virginity checks that occur daily in Egypt at almost all weddings to make sure the <a id="_GPLITA_2" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3622/state-department-courage#">bride</a> is a virgin. As a child in Egypt, I attended weddings where the bride&#8217;s virginity blood was on display on a white handkerchief while guns were shot to celebrate the blessed event proving the family&#8217;s pride in their daughter&#8217;s virginity. Neither did Ibrahim lead a movement in Egypt against female genital mutilation or the Egyptian marriage contract, which asks the bride to sign a paper before the marriage stating she is a virgin.</p>
<p>There is also no feminist movement in Egypt lead by Ibrahim, against the barbaric honor killings of girls found not to be virgins; that is perhaps because all are either dead or have undergone reconstructive virginity surgery, a popular procedure for girls who must save their necks.</p>
<p>While many Muslims today are starting to speak against the brutality of Sharia laws which cause &#8220;virginity tests&#8221; in the first place, Ibrahim never speaks ill of Sharia, or condemns its laws against women and non-Muslims. Ibrahim is, however, a very vocal anti-American, who celebrated the anniversary of 9/11 as well as violence and terror against Israelis. What courage is it if the majority of Egyptians shares her feelings? What courage did our State Department think it was celebrating?</p>
<p>After failing to receive the Award, Ibrahim blamed the Zionist lobby in America; her &#8220;logic&#8221; is popular in Egypt, where people blame all ills on Jews. It is a sad fact that Ibrahim&#8217;s views actually do represent the majority of the so-called moderate Muslims everywhere. Such moderate Muslims, who are demonstrating today against the Mursi government, are no less anti-American than the radicals. As a matter of fact many of them wish to resume hostilities against Israel and believe that Mursi caved to the American pressure; they are now accusing him of being a puppet of the U.S. just like his predecessor. The sad truth is that most so-called &#8220;moderate&#8221; Muslims could be as anti-American and anti-Semitic as Al Qaeda. That is why the US should be vastly more cautious and realistic in taking sides at all in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Before we rush into giving awards of courage, the U.S. should develop its own courage and give its awards to those Egyptian women who fled the oppression of Sharia and are living in the West under a death warrant because they have openly spoken against terrorism, jihad, Al-Qaeda, and discrimination against Jews and Christians under Islam.</p>
<p>It is also hypocritical for the U.S. to honor those who are demonstrating against the Mursi government; the U.S. was instrumental in bringing the Muslim Brotherhood to power. In doing that, the U.S. is simply participating in a game with the Egyptian government to make it look good.</p>
<p>If the U.S. government is truly serious about honoring those who want reform in the Muslim world, why is it not honoring those people who are sticking their necks out in stating their love for America and peace with Israel? Why is it not honoring someone like Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali &#8212; or Dr. Zuhdi Jasser or Tawfiq Hamid, who still call themselves Muslims and are trying to reform Islam?</p>
<p>I do not think the US State Department will nominate any of these truly courageous in the near future: that would require courage.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/nonie-darwish/what-egyptians-are-afraid-to-know/protests-rock-egypt-after-morsi-seizes-sweeping-new-powers-dictator-pharaoh/" rel="attachment wp-att-169313"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-169313" title="protests-rock-egypt-after-morsi-seizes-sweeping-new-powers-dictator-pharaoh" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/protests-rock-egypt-after-morsi-seizes-sweeping-new-powers-dictator-pharaoh.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="190" /></a><em>Originally published by the <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3491/egypt-ignorance">Gatestone Institute</a>. </em></p>
<blockquote><p>The problem with Egypt and many other Islamic nations is that they are ignorant of what they are demanding, and are left ignorant by their own media and educational system. By now it seems apparent that Egyptians do not even want to learn the truth about Sharia, in case they might reject it &#8212; an act that would turn them into apostates, eligible for death.</p></blockquote>
<p>The chaos in Egypt today is an indication of an old culture that has lost its way and its connection to a great civilization over 3000 years old. Pure Islamists who hate their ancient history and are threatening to blow up the pyramids and sphinx as idols of the pharaohs are now back in full swing to stop any further weakening of Islam by a secular government. But is it the Islamists&#8217; fault or the fault of the Egyptian public who continually vote in favor of Sharia [Islamic law - "The Path"]?</p>
<p>Once Islam takes hold of a nation, the turmoil never ends &#8212; between human nature, which aspires for freedom and dignity, and forces of domination and oppression, which see and understand nothing in the political life of a country other than enforcing Sharia law on others.</p>
<p>During the last 1400 years of Islamic domination, Egyptians discarded their past and adopted the culture of Arabia through the process of Arabization and Islamization. Islamists in Egypt and in any other country, for that matter, understand that for their country to remain Islamic, it must be ruled from the top down by Sharia. Muslim leadership has no confidence that Islam would survive without government enforcement through fear, intimidation and harsh punishments. Without government control and enforcement by means of a tyrannical legal system, Islamist leaders believe that the religion cannot survive through choice. That is why, wherever Islam travels, the goal is always to control government.</p>
<p>Nothing symbolizes the turmoil in Egypt today more than the stalemate over writing yet another constitution. Only a handful of people have so far had the courage to publicly call for abolishing Article 2 of the former constitution, which reads: &#8220;Islam is the Religion of the State…and the principle source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence [Sharia law].&#8221; It seems that Sharia will remain as the source of legislation and the legal foundation in Egypt.</p>
<p>This should not be surprising: a 2007 survey with 1,000 Egyptian Muslims by the <a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/?nid=&amp;id=&amp;lb=hmpg">University of Maryland/WorldPublicOpinion.org</a>, stated that 67% said they wanted a caliphate, 74% wanted strict application of Sharia, 77% wanted mutilating punishment for theft; 82% wanted stoning for adultery and 84% wanted execution of apostates. By Western standards, that is a mandate for Sharia and Islam.</p>
<p>So why are Egyptians now unhappy with Morsi? They wanted Sharia, and Morsi is giving them Sharia. By Western standards, Morsi has a mandate to rule by Sharia, so why are Cairo&#8217;s streets full of rebels chanting for freedom and democracy? Is this Morsi&#8217;s fault or the fault of a confused Egyptian public who do not seem to know what they really want? Why can&#8217;t they recognize Sharia law as the &#8220;elephant in the room,&#8221; name it, reject it and vote accordingly? Why are they not aware that Sharia forbids any man-made government, such as democracy, which is considered an abomination and must be eliminated? And how can they be so ignorant about a legal system under which they demanded to live?</p>
<p>The problem with Egypt and many other Islamic nations is they are ignorant of what they are demanding, and are left ignorant by their own media and educational system.</p>
<p>The problem in Egypt is not Mubarak or Morsi, King Farouk or Nasser. It is the ignorance of Egyptians about basics of their beloved religious law that they say they want enshrined in their constitution. I recently asked several Egyptians if they are aware of the following laws in Sharia pertaining to the Muslim head of state:</p>
<p>• It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph (Muslim head of state), even if he is unjust.</p>
<p>• A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power, meaning through force.</p>
<p>• A Caliph is exempt from charges of murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.</p>
<p>From the laws above, Morsi has not done anything against Sharia, but not one of the Egyptians I spoke to was aware of any such laws, and that Morsi&#8217;s recent power grab was in perfect harmony with the Sharia. By now it seems apparent that Egyptians are intentionally ignorant about Sharia and do not even want to take the effort to learn the truth abut Sharia, in case they they might reject it – an act which would turn them into apostates, eligible for death. Remaining ignorant and in denial about the Sharia elephant in the room therefore seems the only option.</p>
<p>By demanding a legal system they do not really want, however, Egyptians are preventing themselves from having a harmonious moral foundation upon which the country can survive. The more Egyptians reject an honest discussion and deeper clarity about what they want, the worse this problem will get in the future.</p>
<p>Egyptians need to learn how to take responsibility for themselves and the future of their country, and stop placing blame on their leaders. They should either accept or reject Islamic tyranny. Whether it is Egypt, Iran or even Saudi Arabia, what they need is an honest public discussion to educate the public about what Sharia really is without any sugar coating, after which they can vote on their constitution. But will they have the courage to do so? Some Egyptians do have the courage, but they are still the minority, and they understand that speaking out would be a death sentence. Without courage, however, change cannot happen, and without saying what they mean, Egyptians will continue rewriting their constitution every 50 or 60 years, and stumbling and falling over and over again into an unending cycle of dictatorships and revolutions.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the Left is changing the perspective of new immigrants for the worse. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/nonie-darwish/immigrants-dilemma-in-america/new_citizens_oath/" rel="attachment wp-att-166909"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-166909" title="new_citizens_oath" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/new_citizens_oath-425x350.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="210" /></a>If America were to open its borders without restrictions, more than half the world population would be here. It is the American capitalist system that is still a dream come true to many who are more than happy to leave their stagnant, dysfunctional economies, burdened with class envy and re-distribution of &#8220;pennies&#8221; through government bureaucrats and red tape. Many immigrants were more than happy to trade their substandard government-run health insurance for life in America where hard work is rewarded with the best standard of living on the face of the earth.</p>
<p>As a young woman, I accomplished my dream of moving to America in November of 1978.  Even though I had a good job as a journalist, a well-to-do family and connections to some movers and shakers in the Egyptian government, I could never have been financially independent, buy a car or rent an apartment on my own without family help. America was my outlet to freedom, economic self-reliance and escape from being surrounded by misery, injustice and poverty. I knew that if I worked hard in America I would achieve success, and I did.</p>
<p>It is hard to explain to Americans born and raised in this country how happy it felt to enjoy the simple things that Americans take for granted. The satisfaction I had after I looked at my check after a hard day’s work, how I enjoyed the ease of getting and decorating my beautiful apartment, buying a car on my own and dreaming of a bright future I knew I could achieve. How easy it is in America to do business, drive around, buy and sell whatever one needs without having to bribe, beg or threaten a lazy government worker who could care less. Americans rarely hear about life on the outside and the daily difficulties people around the world have to endure for things Americans take for granted.</p>
<p>I was happy to assimilate into American culture while preserving the fun and good stuff I brought with me from my culture of origin, and my American friends loved it. I loved a smile from a perfect stranger on the street and a “do you need any help?” in a store. Many Americans have no idea that such daily little acts of pleasant interaction is a uniquely American tradition rarely seen around the world. To the new immigrant, shopping is a pleasure and affordable. I never envied &#8220;the rich&#8221; in America and looked forward to achieving my own American dream, and I, and many other immigrants, have done just that.</p>
<p>Americans are left uninformed by their media of how the rest of the world lives. Perhaps a good show to watch is “House Hunters International” where Americans can see for themselves that homes and apartments around the world are practically unaffordable to the general public and often unlivable by American standards.</p>
<p>Left on their own, immigrants are grateful to work hard and enjoy the American system, but soon after we are here, we are told by the popular culture that we are victims, must act like ones, and we must not accept what America can offer. America wanted more from us when it came time to vote. We are told that the system is rigged, not fair and that &#8220;whites&#8221; who have welcomed us in the millions for centuries, are racists and bigoted. Many immigrants believed the anti-American propaganda for the sake of approval and benefits. Immigrants are now told to hold on to their old culture, religion, traditional clothes, customs, language, and even some of the archaic laws, which many have escaped from in the first place. The conventional wisdom now tells us that America is no better than the oppressive systems we originally came from.</p>
<p>In America today, every national origin and race is encouraged to find a minority group to belong to. When I first moved to America, no Muslim women wore the Islamic garb, and you could hardly tell on the streets of America who was Muslim and who was not. Now many Muslims find power in sticking together, and go back to the Islamic garb and cry victimization. When I privately once asked a Muslim professor why she started wearing the head cover in America, her answer was a whisper: “The ethnic look is powerful in America.”</p>
<p>Many years ago, I knew a wonderful hard-working Hispanic family that found success in America after years of the mother working as a cleaning lady and the father a construction worker. Their kids all graduated college and never had to pay a dime for their education and wonderful government jobs. The children of that family today are speaking of discrimination, how California was part of Mexico, and how it is only fair to redistribute wealth. That was the lesson they learned in college.</p>
<p>Immigrants in America today are faced with a dilemma; they must deny their appreciation of the capitalist system that brought them here in the first place. Their children are taught to reject their parents’ experience of hard work to get ahead and regard their parents as victims of discrimination and abuse. They are rewarded for complaining and rejecting assimilation, free enterprise, self-reliance, and appreciation of American values that made this country the envy of the world. They are told to look at the half-empty glass, and are encouraged to throw the baby out with the bath water. They are told to hate white people and those who don’t are shamed as traitors to their race.</p>
<p>It took my three children one visit to the Middle East to understand what America is all about. After the trip, they told me, “Thank you mom for giving birth to us in America.” I wish that every American teenager would have a chance to travel and live in a third world country. I wish that Hollywood, the media, academia and all those who have power to influence our kids, would try to get a job outside of the United States that will provide them with an apartment and a car. Some countries might provide government health insurance, but health insurance is just a piece of paper and does not mean good health <em>care.</em> Many countries that provide some health care have high unemployment, terrible shortages of food and apartments, and many other things Americans take for granted. In America today, we are moving in the same direction: high unemployment, less home ownership and government-controlled health care.</p>
<p>America has always been the symbol of hope and change to the world, but instead of making the world more like us, we are moving in the direction of the rest of the world. Change is good when it is appropriate and necessary, but change just for the sake of change is destructive. Hopeless people could never have built America in two hundred years, and it is a shame for anyone to claim that America needs hope and change &#8212; an expression more suited for a leader of Haiti or Egypt &#8212; rather than a leader of America.</p>
<p>Even though the majority of immigrants in America have been seduced by &#8220;free stuff&#8221; and into preserving their ethnic identity, realistic and honorable immigrants need to resist the seduction of the leftist agenda and remind America of why we immigrants moved here in the first place.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the president became the savior of both Islam and socialism.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/nonie-darwish/obamas-allegiance-to-the-unholy-alliance/obama44-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-149486"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-149486" title="obama44" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/obama44-450x252.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="176" /></a>I have never entertained the idea that Obama is a Muslim and I always believed he was a socialist. But Obama’s behavior over the last 4 years regarding Islam have convinced me that Obama definitely has a Socialist-Islamic centered world view. This combination  is not uncommon in many parts of the Muslim world.</p>
<p>Having been a journalist in Egypt for 6 years in the seventies, I have witnessed socialism with an Islamic twist to be a popular political ideology, especially amongst Arab journalists and intellectuals. Socialism and communism have managed to survive in the ruthless Islamic political system and have blended together in the Baath Party in Syria, in Iraq and in socialist regimes in Egypt and Yemen.</p>
<p>One major difference between the two ideologies is that Islam uses Allah, while socialism uses atheism, to fight the God of Christianity. Free democracies, such as the United States, are alien to Islam and socialism because they regard government as a servant to the people and that human rights are from God and not from government or Sharia.</p>
<p>Both Sharia and Socialism unite in their envy of Western society and in their desire to change it. That is why Obama has become the savior of both Islam and socialism. He embodies both ideologies, socialism and Islam, and he was groomed for years to help the socialist and Islamic causes inside America. The claim that Obama is a Christian appears to be increasingly dubious. If it is an untruth, it makes sense, because such a deception works well for the greater cause of changing America to fit the goals of socialists and Islamists.</p>
<p>Obama has clearly become the savior of both Islam and socialism. To achieve this, Obama has had to deny who he really is. That is why his actions and words never add up. At the recent Catholic Charity dinner speech, Obama did not seem to be just kidding when he said that Romney uses his middle name &#8220;Mitt&#8221; and that: “I wish I could use my middle name<em>.</em>” Obama was referring to his Islamic middle name &#8220;Hussein.&#8221; In Obama’s mind, he was not ashamed for having deceived America, but he blamed America for putting him in this quagmire of having to deny his true pride in his middle name.</p>
<p>It is clear that Obama has no problem whatsoever in lying for the sake of “the change and the hope” that he has made central to his presidency. It is significant to note that lying about being a Muslim in a majority non-Muslim country is allowed under Islam. Now, I am not necessarily saying that Obama is a secret Muslim. But Obama does have Islamic roots and that he possesses sympathies to Islamic culture and religion, which he himself boasts about. And the fact remains that, as we know very well, in Islam, lying for the purpose of jihad in Islam is also not only allowed, <em>but an obligation to be proud of</em>. One is even encouraged to blame the enemies of Islam for one’s lies.</p>
<p>Sharia law states: “Lying is obligatory if the purpose is obligatory.” Muslim clerics have no problem lying not just to the non-Muslim world but even to the Muslim masses since Islam also allows Muslims to lie in order to bring Muslims together in harmony and friendship.</p>
<p>That brings us to the current debacle in Libya, which can only be understood if we understand Obama’s world views on the “The Muslim World.” Like the so-called ‘moderate’ Muslims, Obama insists Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and blamed previous American foreign policy and Israel, for Islamic anger. Obama narrowed down the problem of Islamism to al Qaeda while embracing other Islamic groups as &#8220;moderate,&#8221; such as the Muslim Brotherhood. By doing that, Obama dismissed the long history of terror of the Muslim Brotherhood, which gave birth to al Qaeda and hundreds of other terror groups. Nothing in Obama’s world is the fault of Islam, and that is why he ordered the Fort Hood massacre to be classified as work place violence and not Islamic terrorism.</p>
<p>Obama believes that he uniquely understands the Muslim world and that he will bring a new era of peace with Islam, at least during his administration. But as president of the United States, Obama was in a quagmire between protecting American lives and being loyal to Islam and appeasing his Islamic friends. Placing American marines in US consulates in dangerous terror- infested Islamic countries was going to jeopardize a bloody confrontation between American security and Islamists. It was also going to discredit Obama’s theory of Islam having nothing to do with terrorism. Also, if Obama confronts militarily Muslim jihadists in Islamic countries his whole theory that he has brought a new page in American-Islamic relations would fall apart and he won’t be any different from his predecessors, Bush or Reagan.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">That explains why the demands for American security instead of Libyan security by US ambassador Stevens, went unanswered. Obama did not want to deal with the possibility that American marines would shoot at Muslim attackers in order to save American lives. Thus, Obama gambled with the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others and left them as sacrificial lambs rather than violate Muslim attackers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">With the terrorist attack in Binghazi, Islamists and jihadists made it clear to us that they could care less about Obama, his appeasement, his apology and even his connections and sympathies for Islam. They could not put on hold their jihad or restrain themselves for an American president who wanted to help build a better image of Islam to the world. They could not play the game with Obama and refrain from jihad even during the Obama presidency. Jihadists have declared that Obama is just another American president who should not be trusted. No leader in the West can get away from the wrath of Islamic jihad, and that is why Islamic angry mobs perpetually torch Obama’s effigy in anger.</p>
<p>It is unfortunate that it took a tragedy in Libya and the lives of decent Americans to prove that Obama is unfit to be president of the USA. Obama has fooled many Americans for 4 years. it remains questionable for how many more he can do the same.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/nonie-darwish/why-obama-blamed-the-video/obama87-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-149183"><img class=" wp-image-149183 alignleft" title="obama87" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/obama87-450x270.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="189" /></a>Most Americans reacted with horror and pain when the decent American ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was dragged and sodomized by Libyan terrorists. To date, the autopsy report of the ambassador and three other American heroes has not been made public and is perhaps being held till after the elections.</p>
<p>Americans deserved the proper outrage and comfort by the US president after such a horrendous terror attack, but President Obama failed to do that. Instead, he found an excuse: a video that came out months earlier before Sept. 11, 2012. For weeks the Obama administration hammered the American people with a guilt trip over Islamic outrage; the killing and burning was because of a video insulting Islam.</p>
<p>But when the truth came out that this was a calculated terror attack, the American people were outraged. That was when the White House decided to quickly change the game, and without hesitation Obama boldly suggested in the second debate that he <em>did</em> call the attack an act of terror. How can Obama expect to get away with this? Holding Islamic outrage as a justification for violence and then changing to a wishy-washy condemnation of terror has failed to fix the damage already done. I was used to this kind of dishonest maneuvering by Arab leaders, but could never have imagined that an American president could stoop to that level. Have we been infected by Islamic illogic?</p>
<p>There is no doubt that it must be very difficult for any American administration to deal with a culture like that of the Muslim world; a culture that must be treated as immature spoiled children who must get their way. What America fails to understand is that Islamic scriptures forbid Muslims to take non-Muslims as friends or partners worthy of compromise and equal rights. One would think that America after Sept. 11, 2001 would have learned the lesson of the deviance of Islamic jihad and the psyche of the Muslim world, which is constantly brewing and looking for an excuse and a crack of weakness to confirm Muslims&#8217; need to feel wronged in order to justify attacks on American interests.</p>
<p>By now, the US should understand that Muslims who engage in anger and terror constantly search for excuses, but we must never fall for such excuses. Islamic chatter is constantly itching for confrontation and looking for justification of terror, which prompted the U.S. embassy in Cairo to release the following statement condemning the video before any attacks on the Cairo embassy:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.</p></blockquote>
<p>Four hours <em>after</em> the release of this statement crowds stormed the embassy, destroyed the U.S. flag and replaced it with an Islamic flag. By issuing such a statement, the US embassy in Cairo took the bait and provided the excuse Islamists needed. The anger in Egypt about the 2-month-old video, which had to come out exactly on the eve of 9/11, should have been proof enough that it was only an excuse.</p>
<p>Having been born and raised in the Muslim world, I know that Islamic anger and terror against the West lurks and lies in wait for any excuse to explode at the culture that is the object of their jihad. Jihad, once the pride of the Islamic world, is now an international crime that Muslims have learned to camouflage as self-defense. Not one mosque Friday sermon in the Middle East is devoid of cursing the non-Muslim (kafir) enemies of Islam. Since jihad is a violation of the rights of others, nations and individuals, Muslim culture has become all too eager to assert its victimization by others, for an opportunity to exploit the weakness of its prey &#8212; a flinch or apology &#8212; which it considers a signal to engage in holy violence.</p>
<p>When anyone dares to say jihad means violence, the so-called moderate Muslims are outraged, but manage to look the other way when violence is committed in the name of Islam. The more some Muslims terrorize, while others stand by in denial, the more they confuse, soften and weaken their victim. While one face of Islam is doing the terror, the other face tells the world: &#8220;We love peace and don’t you dare judge us by our terrorists because if you do we will riot, burn and kill.&#8221; One fact remains: both faces of Islam work hand in glove and one cannot survive without the other.</p>
<p>Muslims have learned from their history that terror works. They have also learned that for terror to achieve its goal of surrender of the prey, the Islamic tender touch must accompany the terror &#8212; the Islamic father holds the stick and the Islamic mother hugs while the father inflicts the beating.</p>
<p>The American people have been traumatized by 9/11 but many have not found comfort and legitimization to their pain. And now we have an American president who refuses to make the American people the number one recipients of his empathy, preferring to cater to the outside world and to indulge the cat and mouse game jihadists are playing with American sensibilities. Many in the American mainstream media and government have taken the Islamic bait and turned against the victims of Islam, whether they are the American people, Coptic Egyptians or apostates of Islam. To those who think they know better, all those mentioned above are simply Islamophobes. They have denied the American people the right to identify their enemy and eradicate it. They have turned a blind eye to American victims of terror and their families and neglected that America is in need of a healing process based on justice. They have even added insult to injury by telling the American people that they are to blame and by refusing to treat Americans as adults worthy of justice, accountability and calling a spade a spade.</p>
<p>America, with its superpower knowledge and status, has fallen for the old tricks of Islamic culture; many Americans believe they must have done something wrong to deserve terror.</p>
<p>Many Americans have reacted to 9/11 as the infamous Stockholm Syndrome victims, blaming each other but never the perpetrator of the terror; America is now a polarized country unable to stand up and call the terror attack by name. That old Arab trick has always worked on many cultures. Just ask the Coptic Christians when Egypt used to be a Christian nation and a superpower.</p>
<p>Consciously or unconsciously, the American people elected their first president after 9/11/01, Barack Hussein Obama, a man proud of his Islamic heritage and who believes that because of his unique heritage and understanding of Islam, he is best fit for bringing about reconciliation with Islam, at least during his administration.</p>
<p>But when that did not happen and the 9/11 terror was repeated under Obama’s watch, both Obama’s credibility and Islamic excuses were threatened. Obama’s legacy of being the only president in recent history who managed to have no major terror attack during his presidency was destroyed. He now has nothing to show for changing the American-Muslim world relationship. He now cannot say that everything he did was worth it for the sake of peace, and that those who criticized his appeasement, for bowing to the Saudi kind and for his Cairo speech, were right.</p>
<p>Obama was aiming for a legacy of peace with Islam, but that legacy came crashing down with the terror attacks on 9/11/12. The Muslim world was obviously disappointed with Obama who was not appeasing them enough. The Muslim world always wants more; more than what Obama or any other president can give them. They don’t want co-existence, they want surrender.</p>
<p>Obama’s theory failed. He overestimated himself and his belief that he understands the Muslim world. His belief that he would show future presidents how to do it failed.</p>
<p>In desperation, Obama pursued a policy of denial in an attempt to save face. He went as far as telling the American people, just like many Muslims do, that terrorism is really not terrorism and that it must be because of a logical reason and that Muslims are reasonable people without an agenda of jihad.</p>
<p>The video became the handy excuse not only for the Egyptian people to save face, but also for the Obama administration to save face. If that came at the expense of the truth, or the lives of American diplomats, then so be it. Many Americans are proud they finally have their first black president, but to me, an American born and raised in Egypt, I see many similarities between Obama and Arab leaders I grew up with. Obama would be best described as the first Arab president.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/nonie-darwish/mr-obama-the-future-belong-to-truth-tellers/0925-obama-united-nations_full_600-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-148352"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-148352" title="0925-obama-united-nations_full_600" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/0925-obama-united-nations_full_600.gif" alt="" width="315" height="246" /></a>My heart sank when I heard president Obama’s recent statement at the UN: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” It was difficult to hear the president of the United States declare to the world that critics of Mohammed are wrong, don’t have a cause, must not be heard, respected, taken seriously and will have no future in America.</p>
<p>I lived 30 years of my life hearing similar threats from Islamic sheikhs across the Middle East, telling us “You insult the prophet Mohammed, you die,” which is the law of Sharia. There are sharia books bought and sold in America that clearly state that “the penalty for insulting the prophet is death even if one repents.” What constitutes an insult of the prophet could be something minor, such as saying Mohammed married a 9-year-old, which is a fact, but if it is stated in a critical way, it is considered an insult. Sharia law condemns those who leave Islam to death, or to use Obama&#8217;s parlance, to “have no future,” for simply stating they have left Islam and why. Islam considers stating why a person left Islam to be an insult to Islam and subversion of the Islamic state, which constitutes a capital crime.</p>
<p>Even though Obama’s threat was subtle and he did not use the word “death,” his message sounds just as threatening, especially to former Muslims, who often get death threats from members of the &#8220;religion of peace.&#8221; After Obama’s UN speech, I talked to several former Muslims like myself and we all concluded that we do not feel safe under this administration. We are being told by the President of the United States to be silent about the religion we were born in and escaped from.</p>
<p>A former Muslim friend of mine who wishes to stay anonymous went as far as saying that he was afraid the Obama administration could leak information on us, such our addresses, because he senses a lot of hostility to outspoken former Muslims in America. I do not believe that my friend is paranoid; leaks by the Obama administration have hurt many. There have been many leaks regarding Israel, the navy seals, and even the Pakistani doctor who is now in jail for helping the U.S. find Osama Bin Laden. Political power to the Obama administration has become more important than the safety and security of the American people and the Libya terror attack has proved this to be true.</p>
<p>We were also alarmed to see the producer of the video “Innocence of Muslims” being dragged in the middle of the night by American police, conveniently after Muslim riots, for so-called &#8220;parole violations.&#8221; The shameless Obama administration needed that photo-op of the producer in handcuffs to show and tell the Muslim world, “I am tough on those who insult Mohammed.” The truth regarding that low-budget amateur video is that all the stories in it were taken out of the Islamic books on Mohammed’s life like “Sirat Rasul Allah,” as well as Islamic quotes called “Hadiths.” The stories were not the invention of the producer of the film; they were tasteless and unholy, but they are all found in Muslim scriptures. The problem with Islam is that Muslims riot, burn and kill those who repeat what already exists in Muslim scriptures.</p>
<p>Now Obama has announced to the world that our constitution comes second to speaking the truth about a prophet. Obama is catering to a culture desperate for respect and legitimacy from the rest of the world; a culture that kills its own children, men and women in order to protect the shady reputation of its prophet. When the life and acts of Mohammed were written and documented by Muslims, it was a source of pride for them, but in the 21<sup>st</sup> century it has become a source of shame, and now they cannot go back and remove what they have already written about the actions of Mohammed. All they can do is riot, burn and kill anyone who speaks about it. Their prophet has done a lot of unholy acts but speaking about Islam and Mohammed’s actions analytically has become a crime.</p>
<p>The scary part now is that the U.S. president agrees with Islam’s dysfunctional dilemma and I hope in the next debate, he will be asked: What did you mean, Mr. President, by saying, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet Mohammed?”</p>
<p>Obama should have learned the hard way from the events in Benghazi (incidentally, the word &#8220;benghazi&#8221; in Arabic means “sons of invaders”). He should have learned that the Muslim world will never love him just because his father was a Muslim, even if he declares that he himself is a Muslim. It won’t matter to the Islamists because what they want is world domination, and anyone or any Muslim leader who stands in the way of the Ummah will be taken out. Sadat, Mubarak, the Shah of Iran, and Gaddafi, were all Muslims, and we all know how they were treated. Now many Muslim leaders are dragged in the streets of Islamic capitals by Muslim rioters if they deviate from Sharia.</p>
<p>For 4 years the Obama policy was not on the side of America as it should have been. Unlike any American president, Obama spoke softly to enemies of America while holding a stick to the American people. He has been experimenting with the devil, appeasing and pleasing the Muslim world while gambling with the safety and security of America. He believed that his unique background would make Muslims love him and perhaps love America, but the Muslim world did not love neither. He told us that only he understood what the Muslim world needed; simple respect, we were told. Obama’s actions told the Libyans that he trusts the lives of the U.S. embassy staff to the Libyan people and refused to show serious visible security in an al-Qaeda infested area of Libya, the country he helped liberate. But the terrorists in Benghazi lived up to their name and told Obama, “Thanks but no thanks. We would rather be the jihadists we are meant to be.”</p>
<p>Obama’s legacy will be empowering radical Islam, both in the Middle East and inside America, at the expense of freedom of speech and American power. Future generations will suffer to get back what America has lost under Obama. He never even achieved the love and harmony he had hoped for from the Arab street, which was recently found chanting “Obama, Obama, we are all Osama.”</p>
